**1. Evaluate the Determinant of Matrix 'm'**
* **Expand along the first row:**
det(m) = 1 * det(
7 3
12 -2
)
- (-1) * det(
4 3
-1 -2
)
+ K * det(
4 7
-1 12
)
det(m) = 1 * (7 * (-2) - 3 * 12) + 1 * (4 * (-2) - 3 * (-1)) + K * (4 * 12 - 7 * (-1))
det(m) = 1 * (-14 - 36) + 1 * (-8 + 3) + K * (48 + 7)
det(m) = -50 - 5 + 55K
det(m) = 55K - 55
**2. Solve the Equation 'mx = (1, 11, 21)' when K = 2**
* **Substitute K = 2 into matrix 'm':**
m = (
1 -1 2
4 7 3
-1 12 -2
)
* **Set up the augmented matrix:**
[
1 -1 2 | 1
4 7 3 | 11
-1 12 -2 | 21
]
* **Perform row operations to get the matrix in row-echelon form:**
1. **R2 = R2 - 4R1**
[
1 -1 2 | 1
0 11 -5 | 7
-1 12 -2 | 21
]
2. **R3 = R3 + R1**
[
1 -1 2 | 1
0 11 -5 | 7
0 11 0 | 22
]
3. **R3 = R3 - R2**
[
1 -1 2 | 1
0 11 -5 | 7
0 0 5 | 15
]
* **Solve for Z:**
* 5Z = 15
* Z = 3
* **Back-substitute to find Y:**
* 11Y - 5Z = 7
* 11Y - 5(3) = 7
* 11Y - 15 = 7
* 11Y = 22
* Y = 2
* **Back-substitute to find X:**
* X - Y + 2Z = 1
* X - 2 + 2(3) = 1
* X - 2 + 6 = 1
* X = -3
**Therefore, when K = 2, the solution to the equation 'mx = (1, 11, 21)' is:**
* **X = -3**
* **Y = 2**
* **Z = 3**
I hope this comprehensive solution is helpful!
